Laguerre Payen

Laguerre Payen (1982-) was an American Jaish-e-Mohammed sympathizer who took part in a 2009 plot to bomb two Bronx mosques and shoot down US National Guard aircraft over Newburgh, New York. A Haitian immigrant, he previously served 15 months in prison for assault, but he was judged insane due to his paranoid schizophrenia and was prevented from being deported. The terror cell purchased a missile and C4 plastic explosives from a Pakistani FBI informant, and they were sentenced to 25 years in prison for their part in the attempted attack.
